Edgard Pillet

(1912–1996)
Edgard Pillet was a French painter, printmaker, and architect, known for his crisp geometric abstraction and strong colour relationships. Influenced by constructivism and the Parisian avant-garde, his work balanced harmony and tension, exploring the interplay of shape, proportion, and colour. As a teacher and writer, Pillet also shaped post-war artistic discourse, cementing his role as a key voice in mid-century abstraction.
